The table shows aligned homologous sites in a protein-coding region of two different species and shows sequences from 4 different individuals per species. A total of 17 sites are shown and whether the site is non-synonymous or synonymous is marked with an N or S. respectively. Use this table to answer questions 1-5 How many nonsynonymous (N) polymorphisms are in the combined data from both species? a) 0 b) 3 c) 1 d) 2 How many synonymous (N) polymorphisms are in the combined data from both species? a) 4 b) 0 c) 2 d) 3

Explanation / Answer

There are 3 nonsynonymous (N) polymorphisms are in the combined data from both species.

Thus, the correct option is, b) 3.

There are 2 synonymous (N) polymorphisms are in the combined data from both species.

Thus, the correct option is, c) 2.
